Quick answer to the title's question: Lego
That is correct. People ignore lego games but they are great and they are usually based off movies.
Another good answer is GTA mods like I say GTA V makes the best Thor video game.
Then we need a LEGO Avengers Infinity War/Endgame
for real though
T.F.Evan Yeah idk why, and I mean LEGO games are popular too, they sell a lot.
Lego sitting back watching this like "Huh?"
“Hey!”
Captain America Civil War not getting a fighting game tie-in was a real missed opportunity.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Contest of champions.
LEARN2DRAW but that’s not MCU
Why not a Marvel vs DC game ???
Killo8X MK vs DC happened bc both properties are owned by Warner
I'm still waiting for Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie: The Game.
Same
While I liked the movie. That honestly sounds just god awful.
The Troll Killer yea lowkey it’s a good idea tho, but I feel like they will implement it so wrong.
That actually might be good. Never liked Sonic, the 3d ones. But loved the movie. It would be better than most of the crappy games
@@MisterUnknown707 i know it sounds cancer i think they should just make normal sonic games
Imagine LEGO made LEGO Infinity War/Endgame and they had to show
• Gamora's Death
• Black Widow's Death
• Iron Man's Death
• Loki's Desth
• 2018 Thanos' Death
• And all the dusting that happens
And LEGO tried to play it all off in a non-violent way 😂
You underestimate LEGOs ability to do death scenes. Look at LEGO Avengers Quicksilvers death. They'll do it like that. They've done it before.
I need to see Lego take on the MCU, all the way to the end of phase 3
@@jessicastrike5640 ehhh no. I don't want 22 different games, just Avengers. Maybe they can add the other stories as DLC
LEGO quigonjin. Need I
Say more
Or the way they also played off Doc’s death in the Back to the Future level pack for LEGO Dimensions
Joker game be like hold l2 and r2 to laugh uncontrollably
Press square to get beatean up by thugs...
Press triangle to laugh when get beaten up..
Press triangle+square to angry and have facemark and thug terified.....
Joker game would be a David Cage game
@@johnjones4426 David Cage game
Somebody should make a mod or something for a joker game
@@Deadchannel1737 that last sequence in arkham knight was what a joker game could be like. That was the best part in arkham knight.
The first time I found out that tie-in video games based on films were no longer a trend:
Is when no one considered on developing battle royale-genre titles based on The Hunger Games.
I had the same thought back then too, but I imagine the fact that the contestants were children was probably a tough sell.
@@Tigerkem
A game based on The Hunger Games would be like South Park 64.
Both are Rated-M for bloody violence, and it also features that one kid who dies.
Battle Royale: The Battle Royale Game.
I am still pissed that we didn't get a proper Hunger Games videogame
Luckily there was Minecraft
An actual John wick game would be awesome
Arsenal Bullet facts
Should have mentioned X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That one weird scenario where everyone hates the movie and loves the game
I wish we got a “The Wolverine” “Logan” sequels
@@SIdCon03 well we’re now getting a new wolverine game
@@sgtroach1510 Big Ws

2012 :people sad avengers game didnt release
2020: people sad avengers game was released
In the 2000s there were ton of animated movies than turn into games
Yeah like Captain America, Iron man, toy story 2, toy story 3, star wars and many more
Epic J2338 the toy story 3 game was actually really good
@@BruisBronk
Yes it was
@@EpicJ-pe2tl Incredibles, Meet the Robinsons
@@BruisBronk the wii version sucked
The Captain America game was actually very inspirational to the action scenes of Winter Soldier movie. So it's actually great it was made.
The Toy Story 3 tie-in game was surprisingly fun.
Bro i remember that game it was hella fun
@@loganwelch3527
I own toy story 2 the game
It also help inspire the short lived Disney infinity
Oh yeah it was good
It was one of the best games lmao
Dude I've been saying this!!! Back in the day every movie got a game even Shrek
I keep thinking of LEGO Star Wars Tcs in this vid.
Same
I’m just thinking about LEGO Games in general
I'm pretty sure The Dark Knight game was cancelled because Gary Oldman exposed the fact that Pandemic weren't ready or something like that.
Elaborate?

I remember playing the polar express tie in game on ps2, and all the Harry Potter games, very good times. But nothing would beat revenge of the sith.
Honestly if they kept making MCU Games and went all the way to Endgame with it.
We NEED a Red Dead Redemption TV series
@This Guy Can't argue with that
@This Guy it deffo can
no.
Na I'm afraid they would ruin it and leave out important moments
@@professionalgamer6522 no a tv show could work perfectly for red dead season 1 is before rdr2 season 2 is rdr2 and season 3 ends it with a possible jack marston spin off
A gaming tie in for Rogue One would be nice as a first and third person shooter. Would've love to see the Sequel Trilogy and Solo get game tie ins as well.
the tables have turned.. now games need to have movie adaptation...
oh how the turned have tables
Better they don't
That is a bad idea
*cough* sonic *cough*
hitman, tekken, Rampage, assassins creed, warcraft, detective pikachu, those already have movie and nah not much people really asked for its just some cash grabs
It would be amazing having John wick the video game. With graphics from today, ohhhhh man if they would make the game correctly, it would do very good 🙏🏽
The lord of the rings games on gamecube and toy story 2 on the n64 was amazing
Spiderman tie-in games are pretty good for me.
The original Spiderman 1,2 and 3.
The Amazing Spiderman 1 and 2.
The amazing spiderman games are the worst spiderman games ever made
@@julek4248 agreed
@@julek4248 amazing spider-man 1 was good game...but amazing spider-man 2 (console and PC version) worst
I actually enjoyed Batman Begins on the PS2. Imo an underrated title before the time of the Arkhamverse.
the 2017 version of Battlefront II does have some iconic battles from the SW movies.
The only problem is that they don't recreate the movies themselves in game form thus making BF2 not a movie-tie in game.
Movie games were among my favourite games as a kid! Spider-Man, X-Men, Barnyard, Open Season, Kung Fu Panda, et cetera. I've been wondering what happened to movie games and I'm glad this video answered the question. I'm hoping movie games will make a comeback on modern game consoles. Don't want to deprive past, present, and future gamers the opportunity to relive their favourite movies.
I wonder if any of you guys have played any harry potter games. They litteraly were my childhood. Spider-man after that
I did, I played all of them
Helio Rider Ah those harry potter games were great. I loved that each game was a little more “advanced” than the one which came before it.
Played the GBC version of Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, GBC and PC versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, GBA version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, DS version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Xbox 360 version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, DS version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I have also played the Lego Harry Potter games.
Me
Yes I played some of the deathly Hallows part 1
Is anyone else waiting for a Lego Avengers infinity war/Endgame?
Me too man But how would they call the game because Lego Marvel’s Avengers had both Marvel’s Avengers 1 and 2: Age of Ultron and they called the whole game Just: Marvel’s Avengers even though it has both 1 and 2. So how would they call the next game
@@LOMAZKO7 woah...never thought about it..maybe they should call it: Lego Marvel's Avengers:the infinity saga
Odd Ball I agree they should csll it Infinity Saga
@@LOMAZKO7 either they make a new game or make a completly new story for LEGO Avengers as a DLC for $60, which is what a new game costs on average.
But i prefer a new game.
And also how would they handle the deaths of
• Black Widow
• Gamora
• 2018 Thanos
• Tony Stark
• Loki
• Dusting of all the heroes and villians
Like, how would they make it kid friendly, because i know these parents will get mad if they see a LEGO Character get his neck snapped or see blood come out of Black Widow/Gamora's heads after falling on Vormir
Back in the day of Sega Genesis, most of the good games were Movie based franchise, like Robocop vs terminator, The Demolition Man, Jurassic Park the lost world, and hella lot, they had the budget in that time.
It's technically not a tie-in game anymore, but Fast and Furious: Crossroads proved why they died.
They need to end this franchise on the next movie. Heck, it even got an animated series on Netflix (which THAT is also getting a game)
I remember back in the day I used to have Ice age, bolt, Up, and pretty much a game for each and every movie I knew, same goes for Game cube, I had The incredibles, Shrek (all of the games), etc, etc..They were amazing and looking back at them today, they are so much better than 90% of the games we have now!! gosh I miss it so much. ;u;
The lego games are some of the absolute best movie games!
Lego MCU needs to exist! I know they did one around 2015 for Ultron but with phase 3 done there is so much to cover from Ironman to Far From Home.
I can’t wait to see what the new Lego Star Wars will be like
Also I really want to see a new James Bond game, there is so much potential in that franchise given the nearly 60 years of cinema we have. 007 Legends should have been so much better, not a COD rip off, it’s such a good set up for a game
I even remember playing the 360 version of the 2011 thor movie
This video is so well done, and answered so many questions I’ve had for years (as a big fan of the Batman Begins game, I always wondered what happened to the Dark Knight). The LotR games were always great, as were most Star Wars games released over the years (Clone Wars is very underrated). Thanks for the research and content!
I remember beating Captain America: Super Solider while listening to Rammstein...as in it’s what helped me beat it
I used the germans to beat the Germans
I'm surprised that wwz wasn't mentioned since it came 6 year after the movie
Batman Begins the game awesome, one of my favorites as a kid. Probably one of the best Batman games before the Arkham series.
The PS2 era was the peak of movie licensed games, nowadays you can count how many are with the palm of your hand.
not the thumbnail making me want a rise of skywalker and john wick game
hani the dumb Lego Star Wars the Skywalker saga.
and there is "john wick hex"
edit: and there's also "john wick chronicles"
5ubdown yep
@Fakhri Muhamad theres a john wick game but sadly its the exact opposite of what you wished. its called john wick hex and its cartoony like that old ulimate spiderman game
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King PS2 by far the BEST!!! Wish I can play it now again
Recent movies that should have licenced games;
Mission Impossible 4-6
Kingsman the Secret Service and Golden Circle
Hobbs and Shaw ( a proper Fast and Furious game)
Star Trek Beyond (a proper modern Star Trek game)
What about Toy Story 4, Endgame, Shazam, Infinity War, X-men Dark Phoenix, Deadpool 2, Black panther, Spider-man far from home and many more
@@EpicJ-pe2tl yes
@@mrgreen7316 which ones?
@@EpicJ-pe2tl all
@@mrgreen7316 well done for agreeing with me have a medal 🎖
I loved movie games growing up, my favourites were Ratatouille, Narnia, Arthur and the Invisibles, and Monsters Inc
X-Men Origins: Wolverine was an awesome game and it was way better than the film.
Massive entertainment is set to release its avatar game alongside Cameron s avatar 2 movie
I have my hopes up for that one
They had a long development time and the studio is supposed to be good
Its probably because development time back in the day was waaay shorter, these days it usually takes years, you just can't make a pretty well designed game in the time they make the movie, movie tie ins eventually felt cheap and clunky also unpolished, thats why they probably went for mobile games since alot of people just eat that stuff up like its nothing
My favorite movie games were TMNT and X-Men Origins Wolverine, I didn't mind Captain America Super Soldier tho
Well, Skyfall video game was also released but called: 007 Legends instead; where you play missions from: "Goldfinger", "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", "Moonraker", "Licensed to Kill", "Die Another Day", and "Skyfall" itself.
Gone, reduced to atoms.
What about eh, lego games based off movies, like LEGO avengers, lego Star Wars, lego Star Wars again,, lego Star Wars again, lego Star Wars again, lego Star Wars again, lego Star Wars again, lego Harry Potter, lego the hobbit, lego pirate of the garage, lego Indiana Jones, lego Indiana Jones, lego Harry Potter again, lego Jurassic world/park and now the new game coming out, which is lego Star Wars once more, don’t get me started with all the level packs in LEGO dimensions.
Hey, I just realized about those Spider-Man Vr games based off the movie, and also the iron man one too
I guess the new Harry Potter game that’s coming out could count as well
@@thisisafalseaccount105 Only if there is a movie that it's tie in.
@@SourRobo8364 Well everything I said is definitely movie tied in except for the Harry Potter game, I don’t really know much about it, so I was just guessing.
Could you imagine a Joker movie game 😂😂
I miss the movie tie in games, even though they weren't all masterpieces. Some of my favorite games are the Spiderman 2 and 3 game along with Amazing Spiderman
I don’t understand game deadlines
Rushing a game’s production had NEVER been a good idea
Baby Yoda it’s just a business thing to get stuff done. It’s always the right thing to do to have deadlines. It’s just sometimes they make it impossible to get money faster. But everything ever in life needs deadlines.
It’s very simple: graphics, planning and how to execute it.
?
Imagine open world games based on Harry Potter like GTA
That sounds cool
And flying over Hogwarts and London in your magic broom😃
That would be awesome. Idk why nobody has made a good harry potter game yet.
Well u r in luck it is actually in development but the story will not be about harry , there a gameplay on yt if u can find or search on google for open world harry potter rpg there are images, the game is coming in 2021
@@aswadsheikh8051 link?
Dark Knight game did came out.... If you play batman begins there is a lot of references in some missions to the dark Knight... For example in arkhan asylum mission where the swat team comes down in the elevator... The 1st batmobile chase mission the truck is like the one from the dark Knight... Black Market mission looks like joker crashes the party... Etc
Like so many others in this comment section, I too miss movie tie-in games and hope they make a comeback on game consoles. Here’s my list of movies I think would’ve done great or well as a video game.
1. The Karate Kid (2010)
2. Black Panther
3. Avengers: Endgame
4. The Avengers
5. The Jungle Book (2016)
6. The Lion King (2019)
7. Aladdin (2019)
8. The Dark Knight Rises
9. Spider-Man: Far From Home
Joker Movie (2019 hasnt had a Game
The joker game would be a telltale game how else do u convert that movie into a game.
Make it like GTA, the game would take place after the movie. He would break of the asylum and start his criminal empire.
Zero Diamond that'd be sick
Damn thats pretty genius to be honest But in terms of enhancing the story I think Telltale style would be good. Also Imagine A John wick Game With The style of combat found in the arkham games but with gunplay added. Damn...That’d be sick
@@thabreez456 that does sound fun.
I don't even necessarily need movie tie ins. Just games in those universes. We've gotten some of that, with recent Marvel games (good and bad), the LotR Shadow games and even the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy.
But I honestly want more. I would really love a John Wick game.
Over the Hedge had such an awesome movie tie in game

Me: makes a Lego comment
Literally every other comment: *LEGO*
😂😂😂🤣
Yeah, like King kong the official peter Jackson game 😭😡
Oh man Probably the best Movie tie in game of all time
I think part of it is that in the latter half of the PS2/XBOX era it became trendy for liscenced games, particularly super hero games, to have their own identity and not be tied to films or shows. The success of games like Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men Legends I & II, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2 shifted the focus on super hero games to be more like the comics and have original stories. That's largely where games like Spider-Man Web of Shadows, Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions games, Transformers Cybertron games, Telltale Batman games, Injustice games, and Batman Arkham games came into play. They made super hero games about telling original stories and bearing resemblance to the comics, and it paved the way for Spider-Man PS4. Even non super hero franchises took that approach with games like 007 Legends, which was not good, but it still tried to be it's own thing and not a crappy adaptation of Skyfall. Games like Injustice, Batman Arkham, and Spider-Man PS4 still included the movie or TV looks as alternate skins for the characters. Injustice even had Steven Amell voice Green Arrow for the Arrow skin.
When I was younger I really liked the amazing spider-man movie game
Me too
As if anyone would buy a star wars last Skywalker game
1:34 lego dimensions?
I remember i stopped expecting movie games when spiderman homecoming came out and there wasnt a movie game coming. Sorta makes sense cause spiderman ps4 was announced not that long before. But it was weird seeing that all the other spiderman movies got a game besides homecoming.
Exactly I miss this 😢
These guys aren't getting the views they deserve
Because he clickbaits a lot
The latest movie tie-in game I can think of is Cars 3: Driven to Win
Which is a decent racing game, it's not the best Cars game but it's okay.
The Cars 2 game was better than the movie.
@@thegoodreylo4749 I don't mind the Cars 2 movie, I find it enjoyable.
Zero Diamond I like it too. Pixar does not have a single bad movie.
@@thegoodreylo4749 I to agree. I even thought Good Dinosaur was decent.
Zero Diamond It was.
The Avengers game and The Dark Knight would have been masterpieces😭
Being a movie fanatic and a gamer,I’ll give any movie game a go. So no longer having many released is gutting and being 52 years old I’m not interested in kid movie game tie in much, I’ll play them with my grandkids but apart from that,no thx. Last one i really enjoyed was Terminator Resistance on PS4…now that seriously surprised me at how good it was.
Waht about transformers 2007 game
A masterpiece in every sense
Garbage
The free roam was awesome but the campaign sucked.
Han Solo what did you say?!
Onto phones as free to plays, because they cost lest and bring in more revenue through ads and microtransactions.
I like to play a game with a new story, not just telling the same story I saw at the cinema a few months earlier.
The only Sega tie-in I’ve ever played was Captain America, but I thought it was pretty solid. I just started playing it again on the 360, and I’m loving it.
As soon as I went on the video j got an advertisement of a new marvel ps4game...
Ghost_YT - gaming and more which
Marvel avengers
Ghost_YT - gaming and more oh Ye that one
All I know is that it exists and nothing else about it 😂
No mention of the best movie game Wolverine which also had nothing to do with plot of the same movie
Many movie tie in games don't follow the plot of the movie. In the Super Starwars SNES series, Luke fights a sand pit monster for example and in Super Empire Strikes Back, Luke defeats Darth Vader.
@@rcarfang2 that's not what I was trying to say the reason I liked the game was because it didn't follow the movies plot because it was a bad movie.
having to name it after that movie was the worst thing that could have happened to that game. i feel like it would be more remembered today if it didn't need to be saddled with being unnecessarily tied to a movie it has very little to do with. not to mention the movie its named after is pretty universally hated so that doesn't help people wanting to check it out. wonder what this games legacy would be if they just called it Wolverine and made it a stand alone game
@@evenhartwick4422 X-men Origins: wolverine for the PS3 at least is one of a few examples of a game being better than the source material or movie the game is based on. or at least an example of bad movie with a good videogame tie-in. X-men Origins wolverine is one of my favorite marvel games.
Also the Amazing Spider Man games had nothing to do with the movies
Now that you've mentioned so many movie tie-in games, remember X-Men Origins: Wolverine the game, that was actually better than the movie itself. 👍
Awesome video please games look awesome
Was just thinking about this. Exited for Hogwarts legacy.. just for nostalgia lol
To be honest I dont feel bad about EA losing cash from the Batman game
If any gaming company is greedy, it's rockstar.
If LEGO could do R-Rated can you imagine the amazing games we all could have? Like John Wick LEGO, or Deadpool LEGO
Lol...I truly do miss shitty/cheesy movies and game tie-ins. But the audience including myself has grown too sophisticated for that stuff in the past decade. Thanks dark knight
Ngl avengers is pretty much a movie tie In at this point lol , it's heavily banking on the marvel avengers films and if they could I bet they would have got the actors to voice their respective characters...
Karen’s would have a field day on Facebook when they find out that Joker is getting a movie tie in game. iTs CReaTiNg kILlerS
Most movie tie in games these days are Lego and Android/iOS titles. And we occasionally get a VR experience.
Honestly I feel the answer is instead of doing Movie Licensed, just do...licensed. The best part of Goldeneye was the multiplayer and that was just an afterthought. Scarface intentionally subverts the movie's plot and is a What if story? We've seen it with the Arkham Series and even now with Avengers. Just give the license of a franchise to a video game company and they can use the movie but aren't holden to it and can do their own rake on other characters. For example the licensed Spiderman movie games used tons of other Spider-Man villains before the movies did. The Video Games are an alternate continuity anyway so they can do anything they want with the story.
Do we really want movie tie ins back?
Yes we do
@@VenusDaKidOfficial In the end they are just poorly made cash grabs
